David Owen Norris

For our opening concert of the 2022-23 season, David Owen Norris makes a welcome return with a concert of English piano music including the World Premiere of his Piano Sonata.

  • Hubert Parry – Sonata no.1 in F (1877)
  • Arnold Bax – Sonata no.2 in G (1921)
  • David Owen Norris – Piano Sonata (2021)

 

David Owen Norris has been a familiar face on music television since 1990. In recent years his Chord of the Week has helped make BBC2’s PromsExtra one of the most watched classical music programmes in the world. On Radio 3 his contributions to Building a Library are keenly relished.

David’s rise as a composer is comparatively recent. Audiences have been discovering his music through a series of major works:

  • The Oratorio Prayerbook
  • The Piano Concerto in C

 

Both recorded commercially, and the Symphony; as well as smaller works. David also plays early pianos. His discovery that the World’s First Piano Concertos were written around 1770 in London for the tiny square piano led to a complete reconsideration of that instrument, with an epoch-making recording, and concerto tours of Britain, Europe and America. He is Professor of Musical Performance at the University of Southampton, and Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Music and at the Royal Northern College of Music.
